just found the Net Sky worm thing on my work computer

anyone know what this virus does? I've deleted the files it was in but am worried about what it has done already!

Sure i read something about it somewhere

 

use the new Microsoft virus removal tool, on windowsupdate. This cleans perfectly all latests viruses such as sasser, sobig, netsky, gaobot etc etc.

 

excellent, thanks pet i'll get that asap!

UPDATE just found another, Trokan Horse TR what does that one do?!

There are a few variants of it.

This will get rid also

 

yep - ive got loads of bugs on mine. did windows update (which a virus stopped me getting the latest version for a while! ) and they are all stored in a safe place and computer runs fine!

 

is it on the microsoft site? just looked and couldn't see where it was?
adam are those the links to the removal software?

 

sorry adam just had a look, thanks for that, now i know what virus i'm dealing with

 

are you on XP? just click your start menu and you should see windows update. or follow the programs link to find it depending on your set up!

 

That may not be the exact one you have, as I said, there are variants of it, but thats the main blighter

 

so how do i run this tool? i've looked on my pc and it said it has already downloaded it as i have automatic updates. but i can't actually see the tool! is it an exe file?

 

hup

 

I would suggest using the Stinger to to check for the infection, or any remains of it
